Will we find it... or get fired?
While we were laughing for that week we did not have a lot of work to do, so we had no excuse to not have it done. Same with everyone else too, so we also had to help them. So we had a lot of work to do. But we just could not get all of our work done and neither could anyone else. So we decided to experiment on helping machines to see if we could make a machine for everyone. We knew a machine on our island that could help every dragon alive and dead in a matter of minutes and there are a lot more dead dragons than people dead and alive. We just needed to find the metal to make it here because no amount of people could carry it and my smaller dragons were too weak to carry it. Seeing as I was too tired to move, I couldn't give that final helping hand. So we had to find the metal, as I just said.
We had to find the smaller machines to help us find the metal for the real machine that was, at that time, just a sketch. When we finally had the money from things like doing other's chores, we bought all the drills we could handle and then some more. After we finished paying (and getting away from everybody's stares of,"What the hell are you buying all those drills for?!?!?!?!?!" and us saying,"They're for drilling down really deep.",) we finally started to drill. We drilled in every mine ( and they were usually stunned to see us) but never saw the eluding metal. Finally, just as we were about to give up on our quest for the hiding metal, we saw hope again. Someone had seen a metal that was unidentified and looked just like what we were looking for, yet hadn't found anywhere. He had put it on a poster in hopes someone would see it. And he had put the location.
As we flew, we grew more and more excited about what we might find. Would we find the correct metal? Yet we also grew more and more nervous. What if we didn't find it? What if we were disappointed again? There was only one way to find out. And so we flew on. Therefore, we finally found the metal in little veins in loads of coal. But there was more to come. As we would soon find out the better way, there was millions of tons on the edge of the crust. And seeing as we had enough material to last us through the Earth and back again, we would find it.
We dug. And dug. And dug. And dug some more. Eventually, it was only hope to keep us going, but we did. And, as said, we dug. You know that saying," You may fail 200 times but you always have to keep trying." and that story about the light bulb taking 1,001 tries to get right? Well, there was added another example about us.. digging for hours to find metal. Because we eventually found metal.
To make a long story short, we took it all home and made the machine. When we tried it out, it worked. And then we set it to its real work. Helping Grandma take in the groceries? Done. Lending Susan that cat scratching post? Done. Oh, and giving Sally that Christmas gift? Done! So we all played around and had no work to do.
